Promising review: “My partner and I bought this tent after getting soaked in another brand of tent. We took it out for four days. Two of those days were when a tropical storm was passing through and we stayed super comfortable and dry. The tent held up great to the winds as well. I wish I could say the same for our pop-up canopy!” —Lmcgrady

Promising review: “Excellent dehydrator for the money. Have done two batches of jerky and am 100% impressed with it. A major step up from our older stackable dehydrator. My only regret is not purchasing this sooner." —shotgunrem14

Promising review: “This is my fourth pair of Keen Whisper sandals. I did have to go up a half size, but I like the fit, comfort and the fact that my toes are covered in this style. Keen shoes are long-lasting. I currently wear my oldest pair (that I still have) while in the garden.” —Fafn8r

Promising review: “I bought the 1.1-liter so my son and I could actually cook on the trail (as opposed to just heating water for freeze-dried meals) and it's a great performer. Good heat distribution, the size packs a 110-gram canister and small stove among other things, and it's pretty light. We have about 100 backpacking miles on ours now, and we have no complaints cooking over both an alcohol stove and an isobutane canister. The only issue I had was the rubberized coating on the handle disintegrated because I had a heat shield wrapped too close when running our alcohol stove — clearly my fault. I just peeled it off. It was an easy fix and haven't had an issue without the insulation (if I do I can always grab my bandana).” —BackpackerDad

Promising review: “Used this hammock for two months. It wasn't my night sleeping shelter (tried it overnight twice, need different gear), but it was my afternoon nap go-to. Quick to set up, quick to dry and quick to pack away. It's pretty thin so if you're going to use it for cooler camping adventures, you may need to add some layers. Also, no mosquito net — don't forget that if you're going out.” —DadCamping
